Breakfast, lunch, dinner and treats too – we’ll feed your cat right on time. The 5 Meal Pet Feeder serves up to 5 meals per day for your furry friend. One meal is ready -to -eat as soon as you fill the tray with your pet’s food, and you can schedule the other 4 meals to be served at a later time. Setting mealtimes is quick and easy. Use the digital timer to schedule each meal down to the minute, and once you set the schedule, your pet will be fed at the same time every day. When it’s time for your pet’s next meal, the tray will automatically rotate to the next section. Each section of the tray holds 1 cup of dry or semi-moist food (and treats too!) The size of each compartment allows you to fill the tray with any size kibble. If you have a pet who eats too quickly, or if you want to help manage their weight, use this feeder to divide their meals into smaller portions. To clean, remove the tray and place it in the top rack of the dishwasher. Your pet deserves the best. Trust PetSafe to keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.

Customers say
Customers find the automatic feeder works well and is easy to use and program, particularly appreciating its set feeding times and ability to keep pets on a regular schedule. The device is effective for both dogs and cats, with one customer noting it provides 5 days of automatic feeding. While some customers find it sturdy enough to hold back clever cats, others describe it as cheaply made, and several report issues with the bowl not turning completely. Battery life receives mixed feedback, with some saying they last forever while others find they require frequent replacement.

My cats are finally getting the hang of it after 5 days.
My cats always wake me up around 4 or 5 am to feed them, no matter how late I give them their last meal of the day. Hoping to avoid having to get up at this hour, I bought two of these units (they each eat different food and in a different location.) Setup was easy enough. I was able to coordinate the two so they activate within roughly 10 seconds of each other.Day one was pure comedy. The cats were nearby their dishes when the motors kicked on (it’s kinda loud). They freaked: Fluffed up like they’d stuck their little paws in an electrical outlet, ran, stopped, crouched, and hissed. Once I’d regained my composure, I coaxed each one into coming to look and eventually eat from the bowl.Day two through four, the cats still shy away when the motor turns on, but are no longer freaked out. They still don’t ‘get it’ … that the sound means food is now available to eat. In order to get them to associate the sound with something good (food), I made an effort to be nearby at mealtimes so when the dishes kicked on, I could say, “Hungry, hungry, hungry?” and then wiggle my fingers in the bowl to show the food was in there. “Hungry” is what I would say when feeding them before, so they already knew what those words meant. I just needed them to make the connection to the sound.Day five. The lightbulb goes on at the last meal of the day. (I feed them a little less than 1/4 cup food every 6 hours.) They got me up at 5:25 am for their first meal of the day, still not realizing food was already sitting in the dishes for them. So, for the next two meals, when the motor kicked on, in addition to repeating the word “hungry”, I picked them up and took them immediately to their feeders.Tonight was perfect. The feeders clicked on and both cats ran to their dishes right way and began eating. Hurray! I hope this will also be the case in the wee hours of the morning starting tomorrow. I’m very much looking forward to no longer having to endure their early AM pestering for food.Update after three months: I’m in Heaven! I get to sleep through the night. The cats love their feeders and so do I. My main motivation for getting these was the interrupted sleep, however, it’s been really wonderful all the way around. I have only to remember to fill the feeders each evening, and I’m set for 24 hrs … free to come and go without the worry of hungry cats awaiting my arrival for their next meal.July 2013: Wow! Four years later and I’m still loving these feeders. I think in all this time I’ve changed the batteries only a couple times. One of the units is still working absolutely perfectly and the other recently started to have difficulty rotating the bowl. It’s beginning to stick and in the last couple days, it’s happening a lot. Sometimes after a bit of strain it moves but other times it totally sticks and continues to run until I push the bowl. The mechanism that makes it spin seems to be a bit stripped. I’ve tried rotating the bowl to different positions on the spinner and cleaning it well, but have been unable to resolve the dysfunction. So, rather than waiting until it completely conks out, I decided to purchase another unit. I got four years of near-flawless functioning from this unit, so no complaints, especially since the other one is going strong. I’m looking forward to at least another four years of excellent performance from the new unit.Periodically (every couple of months) I have to resynchronize the bowls. They are running about 1 minute apart by then and I like both cats to start eating at roughly the same time so they are not both trying to eat from the feeder that activates first. This is a very minor inconvenience and if not for having two units that I need to activate together, it would be a non-issue.

Great Product! cat loves it!
Very impressed with this product!I waited a year to review this product because I wanted to make sure it was durable and what I expected before I posted a review. As you can see from the reviews on automatic cat feeders it is hard to find one with near perfect reviews. They all have reviews with 1 stars for various reasons. I took a chance and ordered this one because it had 5 compartments, the food is set to a timer (you can set multiple timers), and it was decently priced compared to some other products.This is what I have learned after using this product for a long time:1) When I first bought this, yes, my cat moved the compartment and found food in the side compartment. HOWEVER, I realized it was MY FAULT because I did not close the lip properly so that it “locked”. Therefore, she was able to lift the lid with her paw in order to move the compartment. She also made it so the compartments were off and half of 2 compartments were showing. I immediately called them, they were very friendly and sent me a NEW one with a paid return sticker to send the broken one back. From then on, I always check to make sure I push the lid down til it “clicks” and my cat cant get to the other compartments at all. Now, at the time, I called to get it replaced because I thought she broke it but later I realized it wasn’t actually broken (see #2)2) make sure to read all of the instructions about the buttons you can press. I just realized a month ago there is a button that moves the motor (turns the compartments) around even if the timer doesnt go off. So when I left the lid open accidentally when I first bought it my cat first moved the compartments so 2 were showing, half of each. If the compartments ever get “off” from the center hole press this button that moves the motor and after a couple times rotating it, it will eventually be back and centered on the hole again. This is important! I realized I sent back the first product when it actually had nothing wrong with it and could easily be fixed with a push of a button.3) This product takes a lot of batteries which I thought would suck. BUT, I have not changed the batteries since I first bought it!! So it has been working for a year and still running haha amazing! I still wonder how much longer the batteries will last but its running strong. And now that I know having the batteries isn’t actually costing me more money than if it plugged in, I prefer this over a feeder than plugs in because I can put the feeder where ever I want without worrying about a cord. My new apartment doesn’t have an outlet in the specific spot I like to put my cats food and water so the batteries are great!4) You can set many timers. I have 3 set ( 2 morning feedings spread out so she doesnt inhale the food too fast, 1 afternoon treat, and then I give her wet food for dinner). I REALLY trust this product because I have actually used it for “emergencies” when I have to leave for 1-2 days and can’t get someone to watch her. It has never failed on me when I have had to rely on it for 2 days.5) I wash the inside compartments in my dishwasher because I am lazy lolOverall I love this product! My cat loves it too! She no longer wakes me up at 5am for food 😀 This was one of the cheaper automatic feeders I found that had all of the features I wanted and I am really impressed. I have bought a lot of petsafe products and I am impressed with them all!

Can’t live without it.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:My cat has IBD and needs to eat small meals. This feeder has saved me sleepless nights because I can set up her meals and go to bed. I feed her a total of eights times a day. Three during the day and five at night. I can go about my day and not worry that I have to rush home to feed her. It has been really helpful when I wanted to travel. My housesitters can go about their day without having to be here all the time.It is a reliable feeder, easy to clean and batteries last a good length of time. I’m on my third one now because eventually the motors do wear out, but it’s been years that I’ve been using this model.Â

Works flawlessly, except for one problem – the food tray has been designed in such a way that with every rotation, one entire food bowl AND 10% of the next food bowl shows up through the cutout on top. This essentially means that my cat is able to get a good paw-grip into the next food bowl and pull it out towards the opening, without having to wait for the preset time. I’m sure this might damage the motor, not to mention defeat the whole purpose of having an automatic pet feeder with preset timings.So I did a bit of good ol’ “Indian Jugaad” and taped a piece of plastic (lid of a sweet-box) such that the cut-out size on top is reduced, effectively not letting Kitty reach the next food bowl.Not that it stopped Kitty from trying to get to it. But once she realized it was too much effort and anyway, she eventually gets that food, she gave up. Now she just sits across from it, trying to telekinetically rotate the feeder with such intense glares! It has bettered her food anxiety and put us at peace too.Highly recommend this product. Maybe mine was a slightly defective piece and the other pieces won’t have this problem of the next bowl showing up.

Ich habe den Futterautomat jetzt einige Monate in Betrieb.Bei mir passiert es regelmäÃig das die Drehung nicht synchron funktioniert, da meine Katzen sobald der Deckel auf ist auch auf der Uhr herumtrampeln.(Liegt doch nicht an meinen Katern)Das liegt aber nicht am Gerät sondern an meinen armen Hungerhaken die scheinbar nie etwas zu fressen bekommen,Anfangs haben sich meine Kater vor dem sehr lauten Dreh-Geräusch erschreckt, nach ein paar Tagen, haben die kapiert das es bedeutet es kommt Futter und nun bekommen die einen Herzanfall und wetzen anschlieÃend wie die gestörten zu den Näpfen.Also wenn die Katze davor Angst hat, sowas ist normal, das einfach ignorieren, irgendwann kapieren die das, sind ja sehr kluge Tiere.Ich füttere fast nur Nassfutter, Trockenfutter gibts teils nur in Spielzeug rein, oder mal so zwischendurch wenn ich mal etwas Abwechslung machen möchte.Die Angst das das Nassfutter trocken wird ist unbegründet, ich nutze den Automat OHNE Kühlakku, jedoch dürfte die Kälte durch das Plastik wunderbar geleitet werden.Der Akku muss aber wirklich winzig sein, selbst die Kleinen sind zu groÃ.Wenn die Wohnung extrem warm ist würde ich einen Kühlakku verwenden, wenn Nassfutter eingefüllt ist, vorallem wenn es für fast drei Tage halten soll.Bei mir sieht es aber auch am zweiten Tag noch wunderbar frisch aus und Fliegen kommen durch den Deckel auch schwer hin.Für mich eine klare Kaufempfehlung, auch wenn das Gerät sehr teuer ist.. den BeiÃattacken meiner Katzen hat es standgehalten und rückt wirklich nur zu der eingestellten Uhrzeit das Futter heraus.Wunderbar ist das es WIRKLICH individuell eingestellt werden kann und man keinen Mindestabstand zwischen den Zeiten haben muss.Mehr muss ich dazu nicht schreiben, da es hier ja schon Top Beschreibungen gibt.Ich habe übrigens auch einen kleinen schwarzen Punkt gesetzt. Mein Stift hielt auf dem Plastik schlecht und hat sich abgewaschen, jedoch gibt es auf dem Teller so ein kleines vertieftes Pünktchen(da wurde vermutlich das Plastik in die Form gespritzt) bemalt. Die Farbe hält da sehr gut und ich seh das sich zumindest beim ersten mal der Teller gedreht hat.Auch wenn einige anmäkeln das ein Teller immer frei ist, wenn ich das Futter vorbereite, bekommen die immer gleich eine Mahlzeit offen serviert, auÃer ich mach es zum falschen Zeitpunkt, dann gibts manchmal netterweise nur nen kleinen Happs rein, wenn überhaupt… wobei in beiden Fällen anschlieÃend der hundsgemeine Napf regelrecht attackiert wird, weil er nicht mehr rausrückt.Nachtrag 28.07.2019:Ich habe inzwischen festgestellt, das die Uhren scheinbar nicht gleich laufen.Der eine Napf wird mit der zeit immer später gedreht.Ist schade, aber nciht dramatisch, da es einige Tage dauert bis der Unterschied ne halbe Minute oder mehr beträgt.Wenn man die Uhren dann mal wieder gleich einstellt beginnt das Spiel von neuem.Keine Ahnung woran das genau liegt, ist aber so dennoch ziehe ich KEINEN Stern ab, da die Näpfe ihern Zweck sehr gut erfüllen und so nen Zeiteinstellung innerhalb von Sekunden erledigt ist.Der Batterieverbrauch ist sehr gering, obwohl meine Näpfe sich 5mal am Tag drehen, brauche ich nur einmal im Jahr neue Batterien.

Met 5 bakjes die ik op geprogrammeerde tijdstippen kan laten verschijnen, kan ik mijn poes automatisch van voer voorzien.Ik had verwacht dat je intervallen zou moeten programmeren, maar het zijn vaste tijdstippen op de dag (in mijn geval bijvoorbeeld 6:15, 18:00 en 22:15). Je kan op die manier dus je poes ruim anderhalve dag van eten voorzien als je een keer langer weg moet.De 4 D-cellen moet je eruit halen om hem uit te zetten, maar die kan je dan uitstekend in de 4 niet-zichtbare voerbakjes doen als je het apparaat weg legt.

El aparato funciona muy bien hasta ahora (casi dos meses). Nuestra gata se adaptó casi inmediatamente al aparato incluso reconoce el sonido cuando gira y corre hacia el mismo cuando lo escucha. El espacio para poner la comida es bueno, las baterÃas son tamaño D de esas enormes que antes usaban las radio grabadoras. Es fácil de programarlo para que gire a las horas que tú quieras. Un producto definitivamente recomendable. Me gustarÃa que usara otro tamaño de baterÃas pero es el único pero que le pondrÃa por ahora.Recibimos el producto a tiempo y en perfecto estado, es muy fácil de limpiar.

Acheté pour un chaton pour mes absences les we.Mon avis après 3 mois d utilisation intensive :Les + : Ravie de l’appareil, la simplicité/rapidité de mise en route et la fiabilité. Je peux partir 3 jours sereinement avec 2 repas servis/jour puisque 5 cases.Les cases sont de bonne contenance et peuvent même convenir pour les repas de la journée peut être même + au bon vouloir du chat et tenir par conséquence 5 jours. Je ne le fais pas encore, mon chaton étant trop goulu. Aucun raté jusqu ici. Non bruyant. Le chaton l a adopté de suite. Il se nettoie tt simplement en retirant le bloc des 5 cases.Les – : Il manque :. 1 compartiment de couleur pour contrôler à mon retour s’il a bien tourné, solution trouvée : faire 1 marque au crayon,.1 trappe au dessus de la 1ere case aurait été un plus car du coup le chaton se jette de suite sur la nourriture visible.Nb : Attention il prend de la place au sol tout même.Bref tellement pratique que je l utilise quotiennement finalement 1 matin/1soir, et toujours pas changé les piles ! :D(A quand l appareil qui détecte SON chat, à ouverture automatique grâce à la détection de sa puce :D, j ai 2 chats au régime et âges différents, donc compliqué à gérer en cas d absence.)
